Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

I once met a gcd who told me they only like to hire people who are more talented than them. Remember you’re managing so evaluate everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and make sure they work together in tandem to maximize their skills and thus have successful moments.
The point is not for you to know everything, but to orchestrate and foster the teamwork and knowledge sharing amongst your members. It's about opening opportunities for them to succeed and squashing challenges that get in their way of being to do their jobs.
Don't try to act like you know everything - they will see right through you and label you as the imposter. So be upfront and be the person they need you to be to help them reach their goals.
Managing the work and doing the work are totally different jobs and we’re not all equally good at both. I do have more years than my teams, but they have more awards and more experience with the account i manage. They make my job easier and I do everything I can to make their jobs easy and fight for their work. When I don’t understand something I just say, I don’t know this reference / platform / whatever so help me please because I trust your judgement. That’s something i always admired in my best bosses and it allowed me to trust them.
